The author learned from the People's Oriental Publishing House that the long biography "Yanyang Chu" was officially published recently. The whole book of "Yanyang Chu" consists of ten chapters and nearly 500,000 words, with YanYang Chu's lifelong struggle and progress as the main line, the civilian education movement and the rural construction movement practice and exploration as the secondary line, the patriotic love of the family and the love of the common people as the auxiliary line, and the full passion and delicate and gentle brushstrokes, artistically reproducing the epic legendary life of YanYang Chu creeping on the earth, stooping on the soil, plowing in Longtian, and selflessly dedicating himself to the toiling masses in China and the world.

The author of this book, Miao Yong, is a Sichuan writer who is involved in documentary literature, poetry, prose, novels, reviews and other works. He has published 16 literary works such as "Mountain People", "Mountain Rhyme", "Monument", "Little Qu Chao", "Witness Angel", "Scattered Words", "Life Lushan", "Facing the Earthquake Trade Union Flag Flying High", "History Will Not Forget", "Zeng Xikou" and other literary works, and has won the Sichuan Literature Award and the "Five One Project" Award. In many of his works, there is a clear theme that accounts for a very large proportion of his theme choice, that is, the presentation and love of the continuous efforts and deep cultivation of his hometown of Bazhong. His nearly half a million words and biographical literature "Yanyang Chu" still follows this vein, turning the hometown feelings circulating in his own bones and blood into the shaping of a hometown character.

Yan Yang first lived for nearly a century, he was born in a scholarly school, studied abroad and returned to China, he paid attention to the bottom, transformed society, insisted on serving the civilians all his life, was respected as the "father of civilian education in the world", and was hired by the United Nations as a lifelong special adviser. From 1926 onwards, Yan Yangchu led the Ping Church to conduct experiments in civilian education from Zhai Cheng Village, Dongting Town. Yan Yangchu believes that only when the Chinese peasants develop and build a democratic and scientific Chinese society can it become a reality. On the issue of looking at the role of the peasants, the strategy of rural revitalization is in the same line with yanyang chu thought, and it is very necessary to combine yanyang chuping education with the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. Yan Yangchu and the intellectuals he led went out of the study hall, went deep into the grassroots, and did practical things for the peasants in a down-to-earth manner.

Looking back at China's century-old rural peace-building education, Yan Yangchu is an indispensable figure. The long biography "Yanyang Chu" continues a spirit, while letting people understand the great practice of this rural reform in an all-round way, it can also pass on this kind of civilian education movement, the idea of rural construction movement, and the spirit of unremitting struggle and struggle for self-improvement in a sincere and touching literary way, which truly embodies "telling Chinese stories well and spreading Chinese voices". Especially from Yan Yangchu, we can draw the strength to devote ourselves to rural revitalization in the new era.
